Hi Carrie,
Are you talking about making the picture your avatar (like I did with my little poochie)? If so, I finally figured it out a few days ago. I had a lot of trouble at first but finally set up a free account with PictureTrail, uploaded the photo there, & then referenced that URL for my avatar. When I came back here to add my avatar, I highlighted the URL for my photo in PictureTrail, right-clicked on it & chose "copy". Then, I went to my user menu settings here (add avatar), right-clicked again & chose "paste". When I went back to the main forum, it was there! Is this what you needed? If so, great, just let me know if you need any more help. But if not, sorry so long! Just trying to help...
Good luck!
Kel
